MP’s son Rony charge-sheeted

Detective Branch (DB) of Police pressed on Tuesday charges against Bakhtiar Alam Rony, son of Awami League MP Pinu Khan, in a case filed for shooting two people to death with his firearm in the city's New Eskaton area, reports UNB.

DB sub-inspector (SI) and also the investigation officer of the case Depak Kumar Das submitted the charge sheet against Rony under section 302 of penal code to the general recording officer Mahamudur Rahman around 1:25 pm.

Manirul Islam, joint commissioner of DB police, said there are 37 witnesses against Rony. "Although Rony did not make any confessional statement before the court, we hope that we will be able to probe the court that he is directly involved in the killing," he said.

However, we requested the court to make Rony's three friends and driver Imran as eye witnesses of the case as they have already made their confessional statements, he said.

Besides, after conducting the ballistic test it was found that bullets recovered from the victims' bodies were fired from the licensed gun of Rony.
